randomNumber == timeline label

Question

Hello everybody,I'm having an other question.I have a movieclip with a slotmachine roll changing it's dice dots. http://delah.nl/diceSlotMachineTest.swfI labeled some keyframes with the amount of dots on it. When pressing start there is a random number created and after 2 seconds playing it has to stop on the label which is equal to the random number.I hope there is a very simple line of code to fix that last part. Something like:function stopRoll(event:TimerEvent):void{          if (randomNumber == roll_mc./*label?*/){                    roll_mc.stop();          }How can I make this happen?Thanks in advance

Make an array that holds the names of each of these frame labels. Use the Math.random() method to grab one of the frame labels. When your timer goes off, use an enterFrame event to compare the current frame label with the one that you want to use.

var labelsArray:Array = new Array("one", "two","three", "four", "five", "six");

var labelsCount:int = labelsArray.length;

var thisLabel:String;

function pickAMarker():void {

thisLabel = labelsArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * labelsCount)];

}

startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent:MOUSE_UP, runTimer);

function runTimer(event:MouseEvent):void {

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);

myTimer.addEventListener("timer", timerHandler);

myTimer.start();

}

function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,useMarker);

}

function useMarker(event:Event):void {

if(rollMC.currentLabel == thisLabel) {

rollMC.stop();

stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,useMarker);

}
